Chapter 530: Nanyang Land Shield? Marshall is shocked
Leading the way was the M3 armored vehicle formation, arranged in a 4X4 formation. 16 half-track armored vehicles painted in jungle camouflage and with tough lines roared past.
On the rotating gun mount on the roof, the 12.7mm heavy machine gun flashed with a cold metallic luster.
The open carriage was filled with fully armed mechanized infantrymen holding domestically produced NTB44 Type B battle rifles (G3 folding stocks).
第一个方阵驶过，后边的还是4X4的M3装甲车方阵，不过这次是16辆载着4联装M2HB重机枪的M16自行防空车方阵。
Next is the M3 armored vehicle formation, but this time the vehicle bed is equipped with a 105mm recoilless rifle with a gun shield.
Then there was the M3 armored vehicle again, but the contents of the cargo bed were replaced with a 75mm field gun with its muzzle pointed obliquely towards the sky.
Seeing this, Marshall on the viewing stand was already a little disheveled.
Have we ever donated so many half-tracks? Isn't our main aid trucks?
Or did the domestic tycoons bypass the Pentagon and sell a large number of M3 half-track vehicles directly to Southeast Asia?
After all, the M3 is said to be an armored vehicle, but in fact, without the weapons, it is just a civilian car. If it is sold, there will be no problem in terms of procedures.
Thinking of this, Marshall didn't dare to think further. Despite his noble status, as long as the tycoons found a congressman and launched an inquiry into him in Congress, it would be enough to give him a headache...
Several 4X4 M3 armored vehicle formations drove past in front. The various weapons modified in the vehicle beds stunned the people sent by the Yunnan clique, the Guangxi clique, and the Military Control Commission.
The Nanyang National Defense Force is really rich. I wonder if they have moved all their belongings into the car?
As long as the roads are clear, the marching speed of such troops will be quite astonishing.
They are all soldiers and know what this means - strong internal mobility, a mechanized force deployed in the center of the country, which can quickly support borders across the country at any time.
I can’t compare with others. What can I compare with them?
Even the people in the Military Control Commission knew that compared with the mechanized forces shown in Southeast Asia, the main fast columns that the White Party Central Army was planning to build were at most a beggar's version of truck-mobile infantry.
What’s more shocking is yet to come.
The last 4X4 M3 armored vehicle formation arrived, but the vehicles were not equipped with weapons, but tall rotating antennas.
These vehicles, with their strange shapes and huge mesh antennas on their roofs, slowly drove by.
"What is that?" The Military Intelligence Bureau's special intelligence officer looked bewildered and quickly wrote down in his notebook, "An antenna car? A communications car?"
Marshall excitedly rushed to the fence of the viewing stand, grabbed the railing tightly with both hands, and stared with wide eyes in disbelief.
He recognized it: "Portable field air defense radar?"
Has Nanyang surpassed White Eagle in the field of electronic technology?
This means that Nanyang’s battlefield air defense warning and reconnaissance capabilities have reached a very terrifying level, which is definitely a strategic-level technological advantage!
You know, the concept of vehicle-mounted mobile small early warning radar was just recently developed by the Pentagon.
During the bidding process, except for a Texas company under the New World Consortium called Texas Microcomputer, which proposed to try using their latest patented transistors, other companies that were still thinking about vacuum tubes said they were at a loss and that the targets set by the Pentagon were too high.
Even the most powerful MIT said that the finished product would probably require at least multiple trucks to transport it and then be assembled for fixed use.
And now, what did he see!
The Nanyang people had actually brought out a bicycle-sized object at the founding parade. Judging from Zhang Chi's assessment of him, this thing definitely wasn't just some fancy stuff, but something with actual combat capabilities...
not good!
Marshall immediately looked to the side and saw that the representative of the Russian bear, Ivanov, was also leaning on the railing and looking out.
Even the adjutant next to Ivanov was taking pictures frantically with his camera.
Yes, take pictures!
Marshall immediately signaled his adjutant to work, and then started to think in his mind.
The Russians' electronic capabilities are quite weak, and they must not allow Nanyang to transfer their technology there, otherwise the White Eagles' powerful air force CAS capabilities will be greatly threatened...
On the other side, Ivanov's eyes were full of greed. Good stuff, absolutely good stuff.
At this moment, the Russian Air Force and aviation manufacturing industry are far behind those of the White Eagle, let alone those of the Nazis.
Therefore, field air defense radar vehicles that can accompany the army and provide air situation warnings at any time become even more important.
Be it coercion or inducement, he must make Zhang Chi and Nanyang hand over this technology!
Looking at the representatives of the White Eagle and the Russian Bear staring at each other, Zhang Chi was overjoyed.
This is his purpose. The more lickers there are, the higher the value of the green tea goddess will be, right?
As for whether it would reveal too much and lead to pressure from the White Eagle and the Mao Bear together?
On the one hand, after the war, he wanted to use transistors and subsequent integrated circuit technology to make money in the civilian market. The vehicle-mounted "Wangyi Type B" radar that has been unveiled now is itself an outdated technology. Once the civilian product is released, both the White Eagle and the Bear will likely rely on civilian product technology to accelerate their own transistor miniaturization technology, and then develop similar products.
On the other hand, the New World Group and Texas Microcomputer, as his aliases, were waiting for this moment.
Your White Eagle brothers already have good stuff like vehicle-mounted small radars. I can develop it right away if I have the money. Will the Pentagon allocate funds for it or not?
Less funding means slower progress. Mr. Marshall, you don't want to...
As for the Russian Bear, its electronic industry foundation is weak, and it hasn't even figured out how to make electron tubes. This huge difference will not only make it impossible for the Russian Bear and the White Eagle to cooperate in putting pressure on Southeast Asia, but will instead try their best to sabotage each other because of suspicion.
If the Russian Bear wants to obtain this kind of high-tech from Southeast Asia, it should at least give dozens of tons of gold to show its sincerity, right?
Zhang Chi's mind was full of calculations.
The people sent by the Yunnan clique, the Guangxi clique, and the Military Control Commission were all wondering, "???" Why are these foreigners so excited about a truck with a rotating antenna?
Does this thing have any huge destructive power?
It looks so strange...
After the mechanized infantry phalanx, the artillery phalanx comes on the scene!
Truck-drawn Eagle 105mm howitzers, Eagle 155mm howitzers, and Nanyang's domestically produced 120mm heavy mortars...
Countless black gun muzzles pointed obliquely at the sky, emitting a breath of destruction.
When the huge towed 155mm long-range cannon (Long-legged Tom) towed by dozens of heavy trucks appeared, the people at the scene were all caught up in a frenzy.
That gun barrel is so thick and long, it must be very powerful!
